A minority of police shootings involve violent crime. You will also notice that nonviolent crimes are the biggest issue, with BLM most concerned about things like Eric Garner or Tamir Rice, who was twelve years old.
"Perusal of Table 4 reveals that suspects were an average age of 36, with whites somewhat older
than blacks. Thirty-nine percent of the suspects were involved in a violent crime, 17% in a property
crime, and 5% in a drug crime. Hispanics were less likely to be involved in a violent crime,
while blacks were more likely to be involved in a property crime than whites or Hispanics.
Blacks are least likely to be armed."
